INTERVIEW: Why I should be elected Edo Governor - Emmanuel Iboi

in the forthcoming September 19 election in Edo State. The 36-year-old Computer Science graduate of the University of Benin tells PREMIUM TIMES about his foray into politics and the need to change the narrative.PT: As the youngest of the 14 governorship candidates in the September 19 election, what motivated you into the race?when I became the National President of the Computer Science Students Association.

I am unhappy about that kind of deceit to the electorate. I am also not happy about the way the youth have become toys for the political class to play with. The youth have become so frustrated and they are beginning to realise that there is no hope in the government, both at the state and federal levels.

I can tell you that with a standard educational structure, the state will be back on track. Good, the government builds schools with red roofs, but what is the essence of those structures without having the people to run it? There are some schools I have identified in the course of my campaign that cannot boast of the staff room because there are no teachers.

The party believes in the youth and women and I am sure that when they saw that I was a youth with the intellectual capacity to rule the state, they gave me the platform. They know that I am out to bring about a change in the state.
